General information
Important
Before you operate your car for the first time, please familiarize
yourself with the new-engine oil consumption information on page
160. You should also be familiar with the information in chapters
one, two and four of this manual.
Information contained in the balance of the manual is extremely
useful and should be read after operating the vehicle for the first
time.
The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For
this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access.
Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating
that country’s applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements.
In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these
requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may
render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S.,
Canada and other countries.
All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this
manual are based on the latest product information available at the
time of publication. Please note that some vehicles may be equipped
differently, depending on special legal requirements and that
optional equipment described in this manual may not be available in
all markets.
Volvo reserves the right to make model changes at any time, or to
change specifications or design, without notice and without
incurring obligation.
CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning
WARNING! Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain
vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain
products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Shiftlock
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark
position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition key
to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the
button on the front of the gear selector knob and move the selector from
(P)ark.
Keylock
This means that when you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must
be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the
ignition switch.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system in your car performs a self-diagnostic test when the
vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The
brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from
the ABS control module. This is normal.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see page 35) when the car is at
a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler
door will remain unlocked until the car begins to move forward.
An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.
Fuel filler cap
After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until it
clicks into place. If this cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is
running when the car is refueled, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(“Check Engine” light) may indicate a fault.
WARNING! If your vehicle is involved in an accident, unseen damage
may affect your vehicle's driveability and safety.

•If the SRS warning light stays on after the
engine has started or if it illuminates while
you are driving, have the vehicle inspected

technician as soon as possible.
•Never try to repair any component or part
of the SRS yourself. Any interference in
the system could cause malfunction and
serious injury. All work on these systems
should be performed by an authorized
Volvo service technician.

•Both rear seat backrests must be up
when the auxiliary seat is being used.
•Do not use a booster cushion or child
seat in conjunction with the auxiliary
seat.
•The luggage net should be retracted.
•The child safety lock in the tailgate
should be on to prevent children from
inadvertently opening the tailgate
from the inside.
